ACROSS CANADA
CANADIAN PACIFIC
TOUR DE LUXE
July 25th, 1930 YOUR HOLIDAY-
in CANADA
Planned for you
by
CANADIAN PACIFIC
CANADA, the ideal holiday land, with all its attractions, is
comparatively little known except to the discerning and
discriminating few. And yet a Holiday in Canada is well
worth while; but, the right places should be visited at the right
time. In fact, to get the best out of a holiday of such wonderful
possibilities, that holiday should be planned by experts with
sympathetic knowledge of the real Canada.
Such a holiday has been planned—
THE -CANADIAN PACIFIC
TOUR DE LUXE THROUGH CANADA."
The resources and the world-wide activities of the Canadian
Pacific on land and sea make possible this Tour of outstanding
excellence.
Travelling on Canadian Pacific ships and trains, staying at
Canadian Pacific hotels, members will enjoy the exceptional
advantages of unity of management. One of the particular
features of the Tour deserves special mention : members will
have a private train, luxuriously appointed, for their exclusive
use, which will carry them across Canada and back.
It would not be possible to see Canada under more
attractive, carefree conditions.
The itinerary has been carefully devised so that this
remarkably complete and comprehensive Tour may be enjoyable,
profitable and comfortable. Ample time for sightseeing, for
leisure and for rest ; Canadian Pacific officials in constant
attendance; all the annoying details incidental to travel eliminated ; everything foreseen and prearranged ; every minute
is available for your especial enjoyment.
This is an outstanding opportunity to combine a never-to-
be-forgotten holiday with first-hand knowledge of the true
greatness of our nearest Dominion.

PAGE FOUR Crossing the Atlantic
The Ships and the Route
The steamship Duchess of York to be used
on the outward voyage, and the Duchess of
Atholl to be used homeward, are two of the
four new Duchess steamships recently added
to the Canadian Pacific Atlantic Fleet.
Each of 20,000 tons, they are the largest steamships running to Montreal and have a speed of
17J knots. Canadian Pacific steamships take the
short open-sea route across the Atlantic. On
this route, after 4J days' steaming, the coast of
Newfoundland is reached, and thence for two
whole days passengers enjoy the sail up the
sheltered waters of the St. Lawrence Gulf and
River to Quebec; a thousand miles—or nearly
one-third of the way—in a luxurious liner past
some of the most delightful scenery possible to
find anywhere.
Across Canada
The Special Train and its Equipment
Landing operations when travelling by Canadian
Pacific are insignificant; from boat to shore,
thence to a Canadian Pacific hotel or to Canadian
Pacific station for a rail journey—continuity of
service and interest is assured. For the Tour de
Luxe a Special Train will be in readiness at
Quebec when the Duchess arrives, and thereafter
for practically five weeks will be constantly ready to
take its guests farther and farther on its wonderful
itinerary. In striking contrast to travel on
European railways, Canadian trains allow considerable freedom of movement-—the special train
for the Tour through Canada will consist of the
highest standard equipment—Sleeping Cars of
the latest type, Dining Car, Compartment Car,
and Library-Observation Car. The Observation
Car, with its wide windows and platform at the
rear, enables passengers to obtain uninterrupted
views of the country. In the mountains an Open-
Observation Car will also be attached to the train.

PAGE FIVE CHATEAU FRONTENAC, QUEBEC
*ws^
MONTMORENCY FALLS
QUEBEC.—In approaching Quebec from the river
attention is at once attracted by the Canadian
Pacific Chateau Frontenac Hotel. Modelled on the
architecture of the seventeenth-century French
chateau, although of entirely modern structure, it is
in perfect harmony with the mediaeval atmosphere of
Quebec.
Friday, August I
QUEBEC—Arrive p.m. We make the Chateau
Frontenac our headquarters
Saturday, August 2
QUEBEC.—Morning drive in this historical city,
including Lower Town, Sous le Cap Street, Notre
Dame des Victoires, and the Plains of Abraham.
Afternoon free for personal exploration of the many
historical and interesting points and nooks in old
Quebec,
Sunday, August 3
QUEBEC.—The morning will be free for members
to spend as they wish. In the afternoon there will
be an auto drive to Montmorency Falls and Kent
House; very good views of the St. Lawrence are
obtained.
The special train detailed for the Tour is now awaiting
our pleasure, and we join it during the evening as suits
our convenience. Depart at midnight for Ottawa.
Monday, August 4
OTTAWA.—Arrive 11.30 a.m. Chateau Laurier
Hotel. Sightseeing drive embracing Rockcliffe Park,
Government Experimental Farm, Ottawa-Hull
industrial district, Chaudiere Falls, Canadian Senate
and House of Representatives. Leave 10.40 p.m.
TORONTO WATERFRONT
Large building in centre is Royal York Hotel
page six Tuesday, August 5
TORONTO.—Arrive 6.50 a.m. Stay at the Roval
York Hotel.
Beautifully situated on the shore of Lake Ontario,
Toronto is affectionately called the " Queen City "
by its citizens. It is the seat of the Provincial
Government, and has some of the largest commercial
houses in the Dominion. Its population is largely
of English and Scotch extraction, or of United
Empire Loyalist descent, but the city is distinctively
North American in the intensity of its activity and
energy.
In the morning there will be a 12-mile auto drive of
the historical points, churches and cathedrals, financial
and commercial districts, residential and park sections,
University of Toronto, Parliament Buildings (with
stop and tour of buildings). Afternoon free.
PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, OTTAWA
Wednesday, August 6
NIAGARA FALLS.—Leave Toronto after lunch for
trip by steamer across Lake Ontario to Lewiston,
thence by the famous Gorge Route via Whirlpool
Rapids and Falls View Bridge to Niagara Falls,
arriving at 5.30 p.m. Stay at General Brock Hotel.
Of Niagara Falls it is unnecessary to say much, such
is its hold on everybody's imagination as one of
the most remarkable works of Nature. The sheer
descent of the unbroken plunge gives to Niagara a
sublimity which height alone cannot impart; the
tumultuous rapids above the Falls, and the deep
gorge below, add not a little to the grandeur of the
scene. By night the Falls are a scene of enchantment,
the tumbling cascade of waters, lit by multi-coloured
searchlights, a truly never-to-be-forgotten sight.

Thursday, August j
Morning. Sightseeing drive to points of interest.
Leave Niagara Falls by train at 1.37 p.m. via the
Orchard District of Eastern Canada for Toronto,
arriving at 5.40 p.m. Leave Toronto at 11.50 p.m.
Friday, August 8
EN ROUTE.—Northward from Toronto we proceed
through the Muskoka region, so firmly established in
the affection of those who know it, that it has now
become one of the best known summer playgrounds of
this continent.
Passing Sudbury we continue through the big-game
territories of Northern Ontario, and for many miles
before arriving at Port Arthur skirt the shores of Lake
Superior, from which a magnificent panorama of
grand and impressive beauty is unrolled before us.
We plunge into deep cuts, vast tunnels, and out again
into dazzling sunshine, which turns to blue the
distant islands fringing the shore and the distant
promontories ahead and behind.
Saturday, August 9
KENORA.—Arrive 9.20 a.m. Devil's Gap Bungalow
Camp is delightfully situated almost due south of
Kenora Station, about four miles distant. A 20-minute
motor-boat spin from the dock, winding a rapid
passage through a succession of leafy channels and
finally turning a sudden corner, brings one to the
Camp, nestling amid slender pale birches and pines
on the crest of a ridge between two bays. Motor launch
trip will be taken on the Lake of the Woods. Leave
6.15 p.m.y
Sunday, August 10 j
INDIAN HEAD.—Arrive 9.30 a.m. Indian Head is
generally known in the Prairie Provinces as the chief
tree distributing centre of the Federal Forestry Branch.
From this point millions of trees are annually shipped
without charge to farmers in the West. The Dominion
Government also maintains an agricultural experimental farm which will be visited. Leave at
11.45 a.mJg
REGINA.—Arrive 1.05 p.m. Regina is the capital
and largest city in the province of Saskatchewan, and
one of the most important distributing centres west
of Winnipeg. The Provincial Parliament Buildings,
which face the placid Wascana Lake, are very handsome. Regina was formerly the capital of the North-
West Territories, and was for over forty years the
headquarters of the Royal North-West Mounted
Police, one of the most famous forces in the world,
whose exploits have been so often chronicled in both
fact and fiction as to have become almost historic.
Sightseeing drive. Leave 5.00 p.m.
Monday, August 11
CALGARY.—Arrive 9.15 a.m. Here we reach the
end of the Prairie proper and are on the edge of the
foothills. Calgary is the largest city in Alberta, and
also the largest between Winnipeg and Vancouver.
Founded less than forty years ago, it is now a
flourishing industrial and agricultural centre.
At Calgary, adjoining the Canadian Pacific Station, is
PAGE EIGHT the fine Palliser Hotel, the social centre of this prosperous city, owned and operated by the Canadian
Pacific Railway. Sightseeing drive. Leave 11.45 a-m«
THE GAP.—Beyond Calgary Canadian Pacific rails
traverse the most wonderful region of Canada—the
Canadian Rockies—which we enter at The Gap, two
almost vertical walls of dizzy height, streaked and
capped with snow and ice. Nature has thrown up
this system on so vast a scale that their greatness is
difficult to grasp. They comprise 650 peaks 6,000 ft.
in height or more.
In places the road-bed is cut out of solid rocks; in
others huge steel trestles span deep chasms through
which incipient rivers churn.
BANFF.—Arrive 3.00 p.m. Headquarters of Rocky
Mountains Park, a wonderful region of 2,751 square
miles, embracing rivers, lakes, and noble mountain
ranges. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater
variety of sublime and pleasing scenery, and nowhere
are good points of view and features of special interest
so accessible as in this district, where so many good
roads and bridle paths have been constructed, offering
delightful rides, drives, and walks.
On the east side of the Bow Falls is the road which
switchbacks up Tunnel Mountain, affording splendid
views of the Bow Valley and the surrounding mountains. Another beautiful walk is past the Cave and
Basin to Sundance Canyon. The magnificent Banff
Springs Hotel, the finest mountain hotel in the world,
stands on a height between the foaming falls of the
Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. From
its veranda beautiful panoramas are to be viewed.
Had Banff not become famous for its beauty it must
have become famous for its Hot Springs, which are
amongst the most important of this continent. The
Banff Springs Hotel has its own beautiful sulphur pool.
Tuesday, August 12
BANFF.—There will be a morning drive round
Tunnel Mountain to Bow Falls, Golf Links, Buffalo
Park, Zoo, Cave and Basin, Banff Village, etc. The
rest of the day will be free.
Among the recreations of Banff are golf, tennis,
driving, motoring, riding, swimming, boating, fishing,
and mountain climbing.
Wednesday, August 13
BANFF.—This day will be free-for members to
pursue such pastimes as appeal to them most.
Thursday, August 14
BANFF-WINDERMERE HIGHWAY.—LeaveBanff
8.30 a.m. We now make a spectacular automobile
trip through the most magnificent mountain scenery
of the world over the new Banff-Windermere Highway. At Castle Mountain we cross the Bow River
and shortly after enter Vermilion Pass, at which point
Kootenay Park commences. Soon we are passing
Marble Canyon, a remarkable fissure 300 ft. deep.
We then follow the Vermilion River to its junction
with the Kootenay River.
Crossing the Kootenay we proceed through a beautiful
avenue of virgin forest, and ascending Sinclair Pass
reach Radium Hot Springs.
During the motor trip our train has been sent empty
to Park Gate.
CALGARY, ALBERTA
BOW FALLS, BANFF
BANFF—WINDERMERE HIGHWAY
PAGE NINE NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Thursday, August 14
COLUMBIA VALLEY.—Boarding our train at Park
Gate we pass Windermere Lake and continue through
the fertile Columbia Valley and join the Crow's Nest
Line at Colvalli, arriving at Kootenay Landing in the
morning, where we transfer to a comfortable C.P.R.
steamer for Nelson, while our train is put on barges
and ferried to Nelson.
Friday, August 15
KOOTENAY LAKE AND NELSON.—Kootenay
Lake is a beautiful sheet of water between two
separate ranges of the Selkirks, about 70 miles
in length. On either side, the mountains, dipping
sometimes steeply into the water, at other times
affording shelter to little ledges of fertile land, afford
most magnificent scenery.
NELSON.—Arrive 3.00 p.m. The city is charmingly
situated on a commanding eminence overlooking
the west arm of Kootenay Lake, and is the commercial centre of the Kootenay district, and practically
of the entire southern British Columbia region. At
the convergence of lake and rail systems it is an
attractive little city in which life passes very pleasantly.
The people of Nelson say that Nature practised on
Switzerland before making British Columbia. They
compare the location of their city to Lucerne; and
indeed, the Selkirks, the dominant features of the
Kootenay Landscape, have nothing to suffer in comparison with the Alps.

PAGE TEN Leaving Nelson at 4.00 p.m. we run alongside the
Kootenay River for a number of miles through a very
picturesque country. A stop at Bonnington, ten miles
out of Nelson, will give us a splendid view of the
awe-inspiring waterfalls of the Kootenay River.
Saturday, August 16
PENTICTON, KELOWNA VALLEY.—Arrive
7.45 a.m. Penticton, with its mild, even climate, is
rapidly becoming one of the principal resorts of this
region. It is the southern terminus of the Canadian
Pacific steamers on the Okanagan Lake. Auto drive
to Winslow to visit fruit farm.
KETTLE VALLEY.—Leave Winslow 11.15 a.m.
As we continue our journey, beautiful views of the
lake are to be seen from the railway, while we
gradually ascend to the Coquihalla Pass through the
Cascades. Just beyond Othello Station is a remarkable engineering achievement, five tunnels in such
perfect alignment that a view is obtained directly
through all five of them at once. At the portal of
each tunnel the walls rise sheer for hundreds of feet.
At Hope, the western terminus of the Kettle Valley
Railway is reached. The train crosses the Fraser
River and joins the Canadian Pacific, on which it
travels 87 miles to Vancouver.
VANCOUVER. — Arrive 10.25 P,m. Stay at
Canadian Pacific Hotel Vancouver.

MALAHAT DRIVE, VICTORIA, B.C.
Sunday, August 17
VANCOUVER.—The largest commercial centre in
British Columbia, a very important seaport with a
vast Oriental business, and the centre of a large
lumbering and fishing trade. It has an excellent
harbour, nearly land-locked and fully sheltered, facing
a beautiful range of mountains.
The city is most picturesquely situated on Burrard
Inlet, surrounded by environs of varied character.
There are many bathing beaches, parks, and
boulevards; and, in particular, Stanley Park should
be seen—a primeval forest right within the city
limits. The Marine Drive takes one through the best
residential parts of the city, including Shaughnessy
Heights, thence to the Fraser River, with its fleets
of salmon trawlers, and back along the coast past
bathing beaches and golf links.
Morning free. Sightseeing drive to Stanley Park,
Shaughnessy Heights, and along the Marine Drive in
afternoon.
Monday, August 18
VANCOUVER.—In the morning an auto drive to
Capilano Canyon; the route crosses Burrard Inlet
at Second Narrows Bridge, proceeds through North
Vancouver, thence through virgin forests to the first
Canyon with its famous bridge. A few miles farther
on the Second Canyon, more rugged in its grandeur,
is reached. Afternoon free.
Tuesday, August 19
VANCOUVER.—Day free. Embark during the
evening on one of the palatial "Princess " steamships;
sleep on board.
Wednesday, August 20
VICTORIA.—Leave Vancouver by steamship. The
short trip across the Straits of Georgia between
Vancouver and Victoria will prove to be one of the
most interesting on the Tour, and provides a pleasing
diversion after the train journey.
During the voyage passengers have an ever-changing
and wonderful panoramic view of beautiful islands,
bays, and rocky headlands, with show-capped mountains of the coast ranges and the Olympics as a
background.
Arrive Victoria 2.30 p.m. and Stay at the Canadian
Pacific Empress Hotel.
Thursday, August 21
VICTORIA.—-Victoria is charmingly situated at the
southern end of Vancouver Island. Owing to the
characteristic Beauty of its residential district, it has
often been called " a bit of England on the shores of
the Pacific." It is distinctively a home city, with
beautiful gardens, although its enterprising business
district speaks of rich commerce drawn from the
fishing, lumber, and agricultural industries of
Vancouver Island.
Victoria's beauty lies in its residential districts, its
boulevards, parks, public buildings, numerous bathing
beaches, and semi-tropical foliage. But it is not only
the situation of Victoria that is beautiful, for wherever
one goes in the surrounding countryside one finds
vistas of seas, mountains, shoreline, and bay that are
both magnificent and picturesque.
Morning auto drive to the summit of Saanich Mountain, thence to the famous But charts' Sunken Gardens.
After lunch at Brenta Lodge we take ferry across
Saanich Inlet and return via the Malahat Drive to
Victoria.
PAGE FOURTEEN Friday, August 22
VICTORIA.—Day free. Leave at 11.45 p.m. by
steamship for Vancouver.
Saturday, August 23
VANCOUVER.—-Arrive 7.00 a.m. and leave 7.45 a.m.
For 500 miles east of Vancouver the Canadian Pacific
leads through scenery such as can be found nowhere
else on earth. Stupendous masses of rock, piled to the
sky and crowned with snow, mark the beginning of the
Canyons, about 85 miles from Vancouver.
This country is second in spectacular scenery only to
the Rockies themselves. The gorge draws together
as the train winds along ledges cut on its face; the
track, following the river, often at a considerable height
above it and hewn from solid rock, not only crosses
from side to side in the Canyon, but also tunnels
through great rock spans, while below the Fraser
River foams and roars.
Just before reaching North Bend (130 miles) is the
famous " Hell's Gate," where two jutting promontories suddenly compress the river and force its
escape in a roaring cataract through a bottle-necked
outlet. At Lytton we leave the Fraser and parallel
the Thompson River, arriving at Revelstoke during
the night.
Our train is held at this point until 6.00 a.m. the
following morning to enable us to continue our trip
through the mountains in daylight.

PAGE FIFTEEN EARLY MORNING EXERCISE
Sunday, August 24
THE, SELKIRKS.—From Revelstoke to Glacier
we follow the Illecillewaet River, skirting several
remarkably deep fissures in solid rock. The most
impressive of these is Albert Canyon, where the river
is nearly 150 ft. below the railway. We stop here for
a few minutes to permit of a view of this wonderful
gorge. We pass Glacier, the centre of the finest
mountain-climbing region of the Selkirk Range.
Here Mount Sir Donald rises, a naked and abrupt
pyramid, to a height of a mile and a quarter above the
railway. Rogers Pass and the snowy Hermit Range
are in full view and all around us a sea of mountain
peaks. We plunge into the Connaught tunnel, five
miles in length, the longest tunnel in America.
Leaving the tunnel, we pass through more magnificent
scenery, and at Golden begin climbing again to Field,
ascending 1,500 ft. in 35 miles, for we are now entering
the Rockies system proper. Leaving Golden we pass
through the Kicking Horse Canyon, the sides of
which are almost vertical, and soon reach Field.
EMERALD LAKE AND YOHO VALLEY.—Arrive
Field at noon. We will leave our train at Field and
motor to Lake Louise. Crossing the turbulent
Kicking Horse River, the road leads through a forest
of balsam and spruce to Emerald Lake (7 miles).
The road passes on the way the Natural Bridge—a
barrier of rock damming the river.
Emerald Lake, a beautiful sheet of water of most
exquisite colouring and sublimity of surroundings, lies

EMERALD LAKE, NEAR FIELD, B.C.

taken in the charming log Chalet on the shore of the
lake.
YOHO AND WAPTA,—Leaving Emerald Lake we
return over the same road for a part of the distance,
skirt the base of Mount Burgess to the Yoho River, and
then ascend the Valley, one of the most beautiful in the
entire Rockies. Near the end of the road is the Yoho
Valley Camp and Takakkaw Falls, forming one high
ribbon of water descending from precipitous cliffs in
clouds of foam from a height of 1,200 ft.
Having partaken of tea at the camp we return to the
outlet of the valley, where we get on to the " Great
Divide Highway," which leads us through sublime
scenery and past Wapta Camp, an attractive summer
resort for tourists. From our motors we will be able
to see what the railway had to contend with in getting
through the Kicking Horse Pass. The difficulty of
the grade has been eliminated by two wonderful
tunnels, forming one of the most notable engineering
feats in existence. These are the famous " spiral
tunnels," the railway doubling back upon itself twice
and forming a rough figure " 8 " in shape.
Six miles before Lake Louise is the " Great Divide,"
the very backbone of the continent. It is marked by a
rustic arch spanning a stream under which the water
divides; thrt flowing to the east reaches Hudson Bay
and the Atlantic, and the rivulet that runs to the west
adds its mite to the volume of the Pacific. Our motors
land us at the doors of the Chateau Lake Louise in
time for dinner.

THE SWIMMING POOL AT CHATEAU LAKE LOUISE
PAGE SEVENTEEN LAKE O HARA, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Monday, August 25
LAKE LOUISE.—Lake Louise is one of the most
perfect gems of scenery in the world—" a lake of the
deepest and most exquisite colouring, ever changing,
defying analysis, mirroring in its wonderful depths
the sombre forests and cliffs that rise from its shores
on either side, the gleaming white glacier and tremendous snow-covered peaks that fill the background of
the picture, and the blue sky and fleecy clouds overhead."
On the shores of this beautiful lake the Canadian
Pacific operates the splendid Chateau Lake Louise.
No more beautiful spot and no more comfortable
hotel could be chosen by anyone wishing to make
either a short stay or a long one in the Rockies. Many
there are who are entirely satisfied to sit on the
veranda watching the marvellous kaleidoscope of
colour that flits across the surface of the lake.
Numerous magnificent and imposing mountains
surround the lake. Victoria Glacier, which shuts off
the southern end of the lake, is an awe-inspiring
spectacle. Along the western shore of the lake is a
delightful mile and a half walk affording splendid
views of these gigantic peaks.
Among the numerous delightful excursions is that to
the Lakes in the Clouds, two gems that nestle high
upon the mountain sides. Morning auto drive to
Moraine Lake, a lovely mountain lake lying in the
Valley of the Ten Peaks.
Tuesday, August 26
LAKE LOUISE.—Day entirely free. We rejoin our
train during the evening as our departure will be at
